If you had to own a FWD car...

[VROOMCP]

Mini Cooper!

What would it be? This is assuming several things:

1. You are giving up E30s and RWD cars altogether. Reasons are whatever.
2. Price is no object. It can be any car, as long as it's FWD.
3. It can be any year, make or model.
4. You can have 2 choices, but one has to be your favorite.

So with those stipulations, what would it be?

The runner up for me would be the 2007 Volkswagen GTi 2.0T. I hated the styling at first, but it really grew on me. And the 2.0T is a great engine, with tons of aftermarket support and mods.



And first place would still keep me in the BMW camp, a New Mini Cooper S with the John Cooper S Works package:

+1, but theres already a mk5 GTI in our garage. DSG is awesome!!!

Same thing, but switch them.

Corrados are hot shit, and probably easier to work on than my 164... Though the 164 has so far been the only FWD car that I've liked as far as handling.

Grassroots Motorsports had a super sicko honda powered old mini with carbon fiber everything exterior. Ill go out to the garage and find the issue....

My buddy had one of these, and that little thing amazed me! Strong 2nd choice behind the GTi MKIII VR6 my other buddy owns. Very few mods, but it's quick, has a great sound, and handles like it's on rails.

v6 SHO > v8 SHO,

I would be between an mk1 rabbit, civic hatch, and a v6 SHO

[Keith M]

yea cadilac sure did!
but yea, sho's are yamaha V8s

Most SHO's were V6's. The later model (when the Taurus was redesigned and turned into a jellybean) was the only one with a V8.

If that were true, that Honda motor would be sitting behind the front seats.

[DEV0 E30]

Classic Mini with a B16 and a small twin-screw supercharger.

Oh yes.

It would be so amazing. Built with absolutely no expense spared.

I could have sworn SHOs were V6s but I could be wrong. Cadillac has done the FWD V8 thing quite a bit also.
